Number of rings
You can change the number of times the
phone rings before the unit answers
calls. You can select 2 to 7 rings, or
“Auto”.
“Auto”: The unit answers after 2 rings
when new messages have been
recorded, and after 5 rings when there
are no new messages. If you call your
phone from outside to listen to new
messages (page 28), you will know that
there are no new messages when the
phone rings for the 3rd time. You can
then hang up without being charged for
the call.

For Service Provider Voice Mail
Subscribers
To receive Voice Mail and use answering
system properly, please note the
following:
L “Voice Mail” is a service provided by
your service provider/telephone
company. You will need to first
subscribe or activate this service
through your service
provider/telephone company. Consult
your service provider/telephone
company on how to operate this
service and how you will be notified
that you have messages on your
Voice Mail.
To use this service you will be required
to leave your answering machine off
on your unit.
This will allow the Voice Mail to
receive any messages.
This unit does not have a visual
indicator to indicate if there are new
messages in your Voice Mail service.
Your service provider/telephone
company may use a “Stutter” dial tone
to indicate that you have Voice Mail
left.
L To use the unit’s answering machine
rather than the Voice Mail service
provided by your service
provider/telephone company, please
consult your service
provider/telephone company to have it
removed or deactivated permanently
or temporarily.
Alternatively you can leave this
service connected and change the
“Number of Rings” to a shorter
duration on your unit so your unit’s
answering machine can pick up the
call prior to the Voice Mail provided by
your service provider/telephone
company.
